Okay, so now I'm beginning to rethink my decision that something is wrong in Silent Hill. Something is really wrong in Silent Hill! At least I'm sure that whoever lived here won't mind me borrowing their flashlight. I opened the back door to what must have been a pretty good barbeque area, and things started to go dark again. Thank God I grabbed that flashlight. I headed out the gate at the back of the garden and began to make my way to the school.
When I got there, after avoiding demented dogs and brain-damaged birds, I found it deserted. I think I'm beginning to see a pattern here. When I checked out the reception area, I found some really strange notes, things about beasts and riddles. Why would Cheryl come here? Anyway, I wandered around the school, found two medallion-thingies and I put them in the clock tower, of all places.
After I entered the clock tower, I swear I could hear a siren. Sort of like a fire station siren. So there must be other people around. Someone or something had to have set off that noise. When I walked out of the clock tower, everything seemed different, but the only thing I could actually see was a funny mark thing on the ground in the courtyard. Of course, when I went back into the school, everything had changed.
The walls looked all bloody and floor looked to be no more than metal grating over a giant abyss. How the hell did that happen? It was so strange. Some of the places I could get to before were now inaccessible, and places I couldn't get into were open. As for the foyer, well that was … well I don't really know how to describe it exactly, but there was a big hole in the middle with a cage suspended over it, and an abandoned wheelchair in the corner. I think it was the same one I saw in that alley; just before those things, those demonic teddy bears, did whatever the hell they did to me. There were a few of those running around this funhouse-masquerading-as-a-school.
I finally ended up in the basement. That was different too. Before there had been what I presume was a boiler, now there was a contraption with two valves and what looked like a spiked door. Every time I turned one of the valves, the spiked doors moved. After a few tries, the spiked door opened and I went through into a kind of metal cage, that turned out to be an elevator.
When I reached the bottom, I saw what looked like a body begin to burn. Then this creature with a big mouth came at me and, well, I suppose it was trying to have me for a snack. I blasted the hell out of it with the shotgun I'd found in a bathroom, of all places. As the creature died, I heard that siren again and everything faded.
When I could see again, I saw a girl leaning against the boiler. The same girl I hit on the way in to town. There was no sign of the creature and the girl had vanished. The only thing left was a key, with K. Gordon written on it, lying beside the boiler. I can't remember how I got back to the basement, but I do know that all I wanted to do was get the hell out of there. As I walked up the steps from the basement, I could hear a church bell ringing. One thing was for sure, Cheryl wasn't here. I picked up K. Gordon's address from the reception area, and headed towards the church.
